Barcoding

Assetpro features an optional fully integrated bar coding module including software and scanning equipment. This enables proper physical control over assets by allowing you to track movements and perform stock takes efficiently and quickly. The bar-coding module features the following:

Maintenance of separate bar code numbers and previous scan dates
Printing software to enable in-house production of bar code labels and departmental master sheets required during scanning. Pre-cut label stock is available.
Scanning equipment
Interface software (between scanner and Assetpro) to enable the down-loading of scan results into Assetpro
Software to load and process scanned data
Exception Reporting based on the scans performed eg.

Assets scanned not in Assetpro
Missing assets
Assets that have been relocated
Assets scanned and matched

Summit are also able to arrange for the printing of a variety of professional bar code labels of different quality (Paper, plastic, aluminium etc) and size.

Bar Code Hardware

Summit can provide the required scanning equipment suitable for asset tracking. The hardware has been pre-programmed to link in with Assetpro and so enables a quick implementation time. The equipment comprises:

Home Base unit with PC interface
Programmed Portable Bar Code Reader
Scanning Wand

The Home Base unit also functions as a recharger so that while the bar code reader is plugged in it is continually being charged.

The bar code reader may be unplugged and carried around with the scanning wand to perform a stocktake. There is an optional leather case with belt clip and shoulder strap to assist with portability.

The bar code reader has a large memory capacity, which has room for a large volume of scanned data. Security memory backup means you could turn it off for up to 10 years without loosing data.
